HR 4132 United States House · 118th Congress

Falun Gong Protection Act

HR 4132 would require the U.S. to impose sanctions on Chinese officials responsible for forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, including blocking their property and denying visas. It mandates a report on China's organ transplant system within one year, assessing organ sources, procurement timelines, and whether persecution of Falun Gong constitutes an atrocity. The bill directs the U.S. to avoid all cooperation with China's organ transplantation system while the Chinese Communist Party remains in power. It cites findings of systemic persecution and alleged organ harvesting as justification for these policy measures.
